“Lock template for editing“ Don't work

Hi!

I try to protect my templates form wrong modifications by clicking the checkbox: "Lock template for editing" on my template editor. But I noticed, this button actually don’t protect at all. The template can be modified even when the checkbox is selected.

Does anybody knows how to really protect a template for editing?

Thank you in advance.

That will only prevent anyone who is not an Administrator (role 1 in Evo) from editing the template. Administrator users will still be able to edit it.

Which version of MODx are you using?

Hi Susan

I use: MODx Revolution 2.0.4-pl2.
It could be great to have a template lock even for the superuser in order to prevent mistakes.

Thank you for your answer.

Is it possible to lock templates while an "admin" or sudo user is editing it, similar to a resource ? [ed. note: digitalbart2 last edited this post 14 years, 1 month ago.]

No, the lock in this case is to prevent non-Administrator users from editing specific Templates (same behavior on other Elements, e.g. TV's, Chunks, Snippets, Plugins, etc.). This is not the same as the locks applied to Resources while a user is editing it.

Is it difficult to make a plugin or something that could lock templates while they are opened by an admin user?

It's certainly possible to write a plugin to lock it however you would like, though I have not tried doing so.

Thanks I will take a look into this.
